By focusing on one particular city, Nottingham, I formulate an analysis of the place that cinema has occupied in the city's history. Utilising the local press as the primary source enables me to situate the discourses on the cinema building and the practice of cinema-going within the broader socio-cultural contexts and history of the city.

On 28 October 2004, Terra Firma acquired sole control of UCI through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The transaction completed on 28 October 2004. The administrative deadline expires on 7 January 2005. JURISDICTION 4. As a result of this transaction, Terra Firma and UCI have ceased to be distinct. The UK turnover of UCI exceeds £70 million, so that the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is satisfied.
